Comets have reached an agreement to sign 25-year-old Odense-born Nicki Barrett, who joined Peterborough Panthers midway through last season and guested for the West Cumbrians last season. <\/p>\n
Barrett has been loaned to Comets from parent club Berwick Bandits and joins on a 3.93 average, which means he will occupy one of the reserve spots. <\/p>\n
He joins fellow countrymen Rene Bach and Kenneth Hansen in agreeing to ride at Derwent Park next year, as well as Australian Mason Campton who re-signed for the club at the clubs end-of-season do. <\/p>\n
Owner Laura Morgan said: We would like to offer Nicki a warm welcome to the Comets and we hope that he has a good season with us. <\/p>\n
Co-promoter and team manager Tony Jackson added: When he visited Derwent Park with the Panthers last season he proved to be very impressive at reserve and he clearly enjoyed the track. <\/p>\n
However, there was some bad news for fans as it was also announced that last seasons number one Josh Grajczonek and popular reserve Simon Lambert wont be returning to the club. <\/p>\n
The Comets management met with Grajczonek in October and he made it clear that while he wanted to come back to Workington in 2015, he needed to press on with his career and commit to riding in Poland, which meant until these deals were sorted he could not commit to Premier League racing. <\/p>\n
